The ongoing training modules are very clear and helpful reducing the overall learning curve for the average user like myself. I admit I am still developing my fluentness having used it for a short time, but I can see the integration of the capabililties into our current scontract services has allready set us apart from our local competetors. > > **Cons**: It is a little intimidating to try and successfully use understand such a limitless software program the functions and applications I have had to commit a considerable amount of time on training webinars and included tutorials in order to achieve a moderate literacy level with this program. > > The jury is still out regarding our decision to stick with the program but overall our experience has been a positive start. ----- ### "Intuitive and Easy to Learn" — 5.0/5 > **Ken** | *24 January 2023* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have used KeyCreator for 15 yrs and one of the most important things to me is the ease of translation importing and exporting file types and how fast the program allows me to work. I use KC to design progressive stamping dies as well as custom machinery. Designing in 3D and being able to see my projects from all aspects is critical to my business. KeyCreator provides the direct drawing experience that makes 3D CAD easy to learn and use. > > **Cons**: Having used KeyCreator for so long, I have found ways of working around almost all obstacles. I do not have any problems with the software. ----- ### "Key creator review from wax tooling designer" — 3.0/5 > **Rick** | *20 January 2023* | Mining & Metals | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Software is easy to use and well worth the cost > > **Cons**: Support and training is not good , the updates don't really seem to improve anything . We Have a terrible time with blending radii , seems to work sometimes and others not it just seems random as to when and how it will work. > > Kinda on your own for training and support ----- ### "Reliable and versatile CAD software" — 5.0/5 > **Gregory** | *31 January 2023* | Design | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of importing and healing customer supplied files makes preparing cut files to be used in manufacturing sheet metal parts extremely simple. It is capable of importing many mainstream file types and is very dependable. > > **Cons**: A couple of the negatives of this software are the inability to merge entire native files or to copy complete drawing layouts into other native files. I also hope that the ability to export multi-page PDF files is added to the features, as of now the need to export single page PDF files and then combined them in a separate software to create drawing packages. > > I have been a long term user of Key Creator (17 years) I originally learned CAD on AutoCad and found the solid modeling in KeyCreator to be much more fluid. The ability to manipulate solids on the fly is a big part of what I love about the software. With my use primarily being sheet metal, unbending and creating flat cut files is extremely easy. Inputting bend allowances and corner reliefs is simple and allows easy exportation of flat DXF files to use for manufacturing.The support is excellent when needed and they have a great option to submit customer requested features. ----- ### "Keycreator review" — 5.0/5 > **Joe** | *16 November 2018* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: There are a few very powerful features in Keycreator which I use constantly one being box move the other being dimension driven editing these two features save me a lot of time in the kind of design work I do. I also like the fact that it comes with translators built in, enough of them so that I have never had an issue importing files from my customers. > > **Cons**: For the kind of work I do I can not honestly say I have run into any cons with Keycreator I have been using it since about 1998 it was called something else back then but it is the same program and despite all the other CAD software out there I never considered switching to anything else. Keycreator is a perfect fit for the kind of design work I use it on it is very reasonably priced tech support has always been awesome. I really can not say I have any complaints about it. > > I have seen many benefits from keycreator and one that really comes to mind is the translators built in. I have been able to take work from many different customers using many different CAD programs. Most all documentation these days must be in electronic format so the ability to send files back to my customers which they can easily open I think has been a big plus. I use Keycreator on a daily basis for many different kinds of projects and it has never failed me. I have to say that there are many design projects I would have never been able to take on if it was not for the ability to work with just about any format out there as well as the ability to send back files to my customers that they can work with. Kubotec is constantly updating and improving Keycreator and over the years I have seen great new features added which save me a lot of time and that is kind of the whole point saving time since we all know time is money. ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2046638/keycreator?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2046638/keycreator) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | ----- ## Structured Data
